I’m sorry things didn’t work out. But hey, if you’ve got a woman who cares about you and is your friend, maybe she can help augment your dating life. That happened for me last year. I met a super cool chick, developed a crush on her, she shot me down, but then she gave me tons of useful advice which I went on to use in landing my current amazing gf.
Obviously you don’t need to do anything you aren’t comfortable with, but there are lots of ways of having sex without worrying about having a kid. And plenty of people engage in serious relationships with the mutual understanding that they won’t have kids. Just putting it out there since it sounds like you are internally conflicted. I want to give you permission to seek love if you want to. It doesn’t have to look a certain way.
I hope you find a way to open up and trust someone. I hope you find someone that makes you want to trust. It sounds like a very lonely and damaging way to live. Maybe you should look into therapy. It sounds like you have a lot of hangups from your past and have projected them into irrational assumptions about the people around you. Good luck, friend!
